Most things were better than COPYA.  I pity the fools who used FID. :)

 PN(G| The first bit copier I used was Locksmith 3.1. Boy, that was

     | Friend", which was much faster (it copied 2 or 3 tracks per

Pirate's Friend was okay, and I started with Locksmith 4.2.

     | got Locksmith 5.0, with the Fast Disk Copy that could duplicate

I hardly ever used LS5's Fast Disk Copy unless I knew it was a DOS
disk, and used the regular slooooooow one for the harder stuff.

 PN(G| I had disks full of copy programs (EDD, Echo, Nibbles Away,
     | Back-It-Up, The Clone Kit, Penulti Copy, Magnetic Xerox...)

Was always holding out for the Smiths (gold, silver, diamond).

Copy II+ (version 5.2 through 9.1) were always *the* place to start. :)
